Sydney CBD is very nice and beautiful with parks and many food options.
Nightlife is quite bad.maybe because of the gay culture..lot happens underground and lot of large drug busts happening regularly.
Weather is great and many nationalities can be seen.some suburbs are full of certain nationality..but not much of problems.
It is a pleasant place and generally lifes good
Media plays a part in the negative feelings towards Asian Australians.
To balance it out i'll try and mention some positives...food in the cafes is generally good standard though can be expensive. The beaches are lovely although as I said getting to them through the traffic is not fun at all. All in all, I would prefer a smaller sized city in Australia like Perth (yes I said Perth) or Adelaide but realistically Australia feels like living at the end of the word and isn't well enough connected which again you really feel when talking to the people. Their lives seem to completely revolve around family because there is literally nothing else.
There are still some buildings and structures to look at but its like going to the Acropolis in Greece. The people who built the place are gone.
In terms of warnings, I dont think its a good idea for women to walk alone in any of our cities at night - some will say that's just media hysteria, but we have an appalling record of drunken violence (against both sexes). We didnt have to contend with ice or roid rage in the 70s but I expect that wont be news to any resident of a big city virtually anywhere in the world. Be safe.
I still think its a great destination for 3-7 days, but we need to somehow reverse the tide of people who choose to live in one of our three biggest cities while the regional towns suffer. Hope this helps.
